This Day in Rock History - Dec. 3rd

1966: As you sit down to watch the Grammys this year, remember this. On this day in 1966 a novelty record called “Winchester Cathedral” was released by the New Vaudeville Band. Not only did that record top the charts, it would go on to win the Grammy as “Best Contemporary Recording.” Grammys voters thought it was a better selection than the Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby” and the Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations,” which were nominated, but lost.
